So lucky to be down just 9. This is so typical of this group.

[GrandTheftRondo]

We are getting bottles. Locked the **** up hard. Can’t get nothing in the paint. Can’t get the Jays on their spots. Great D by Philly.

Let’s hope that snaps Tatum’s funk there.

Nonsense. We’ve missed heaps of open shots

Watch the game. Physical defense, NOTHING in the paint. Smart taking open 3pt shots is what they are giving up. Jaylen hasnt had a single open shot, Tatum has had one.

Tatum and Horford have missed multiple open 3s.

The Celtics have cooked multiple fast break opportunities with awful decision making.

[Ben-N1ce]

That's a half I can say was mostly destroyed by bad offense..or bricks when it was good. Not good enough. Defense was ok.

[Tyakack]

Lucky to only be down 9. Very winnable game still. We know Tatum won’t have just 2 points second half. Run things through Brown though and stop settling for jumpers. Go with the guy who gets it done in clutch time.

It's hard to set the bar much lower than that so you're probably right.

[titlebound1]

Also Doris is so annoying. Can she at least hide it?

Yeah the way she's calling this game is pretty wild. It's just blatant and embarrassing

[PierceFan4ever]

Tatum better have that dawg in him in the 2nd half at the very least. Go down swinging not this **** performance

[Shak_Celts]

Tat has 9 rbs, 2 ast, stl and 2 blocks. he's trying, shot just isn't falling.

It's nice but he has to score Boston wants a chance.

I definitely agree. I just don't like that he's seen as not trying or showing up. he has got to score, no doubt, i just think he's trying out there.

[big-shot-ROB]

Horford defense has been so bad overall

What do you expect him to do against a dude who's 3-4 inches taller, also longer and is shooting mostly mid range j's?

He's always been pretty decent on him in general

[Bill Lumbergh]

One positive is that Jaylen never picked up another foul after those two quick ones. At least that's not a concern.

[Marvel]

Yeah. We won't win with a 3-19 game from him.

[Bostondave]

If Tatum was just mediocre instead of sucking we'd be closer if not winning.

[zoyathedestroya]

After lambasting Malcolm for Broghogging the ball, I must say I dunno where we’d be without him. Need Tatum, Horf, Grant, and White to pick it up on offense.

[FlatearthZorro]

Yea, but in the last 3-4 years, Embiid's been shooting mostly mid range Js, which are much harder to defend. Before, he was playing on the post.

Yeah he's definitely trying but he can't put the ball in the hoop.

I know Boston overcame a seven-point effort by Tatum game two but that's not the norm and unless he starts playing like Tatum it's going to be tough

[sprash9802]

Tatum still has no moves when you body him up...just throwing up weak **** over and over again.

[Shamrock23]

Tatum dribbles too much and gives enough time for the defenders to set in. Trade him for a big while his value still high. He shows up every 5 games or so.

Ya I don't want to hear about "well he's doing other stuff!" Not in the playoffs, that doesn't fly anymore. I'm sure he's trying, that's not the benchmark. He has to be better.

And you know what? I have faith he will be. There's a Tatum run coming.

[Froob]

Sixers should be up a lot more. Feel good about our chances

[fallguy]

One positive is that Jaylen never picked up another foul after those two quick ones. At least that's not a concern.

He went out of his way to avoid contesting a couple of times because of those fouls. Expect he'll be more aggressive right from the start of the third.

[RB34]

Down 9 I’ll take it.
